Abstract |
Systemic lupus erythematosus juvenile (SLEJ) is a multi-systemic, chronic inflammatory disease, and with autoimmune features. Some clinical manifestations of this disease are similar to those found in Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Coexistence of AIDS with SLEJ is rare, especially in the pediatric population, being described in the literature just 5 patients with congenital HIV infection who developed this rheumatological condition, presenting lupus nephritis as the initial manifestation. We report the case of a 14 year old patient, diagnosed with HIV infection at 8 months of age, with signs and symptoms of SLEJ. This report aims to describe a female patient with AIDS who developed SLE in its classic and forms, but has evolved satisfactorily. |
